7. Low-Fat, Whole-Wheat Banana Bread

Use as a substitute for: Cake

It’s no mistake that there is a cake named after the devil himself. After all, most cakes are brimming with refined sugar and can easily exceed 300 calories per serving, with 10 or more grams of saturated fats and little to no protein or fiber. Thankfully, you can be your own cake boss by choosing a healthy alternative, like banana bread. Whip up a loaf using whole-wheat flour, wheat germ, ground flax seed, and some crushed nuts, and you’ll have a recipe for health success!
